Back in September the Russian Air Force deployed 2 Tu 160s to Venezuala. Red 07 Aeksandr Molodchoy and Red 11 Vassilliy Senko both from 121st Gvardeyskyy Tyazhelyi Bombardirovocvhnyl Aviatsonnyi Pulk from Engals Air base near Saratov

For several read 'two'. The destroyer visiting Cuba commissioned in 1998, and as such is the only one to do so post-USSR. Same goes for the nuclear cruiser. I predicted which ships they would send when all this was first announced under the assumption that they would only send their two newest ships as only they could be trusted to work. I was right

Edited to add - the other two ships of this fleet are a tanker, and, in an act demonstrating Russian faith - a tug.
